The food was actually quite to very fresh to my surprise. The all you can eat for 1.5 hrs was adequate and I love the no waste policy (an extra £10 each.) for wasting food.
It was £31 per adult which is reasonable and you can have a great time with friends and family there.
Great selection of food both hot and cold plus some Japanese delicacies.
The staff were nice and kind too .
Normally I am a bit funny about eating at buffet style restaurants but K-Town BBQ was overall a great experience. There is a good selection of food that the chefs keep topping up through out your hour and half. The meat for BBQ which is the main pulling point tasted fresh and I really enjoyed the cuts of steak. I would recommend arriving just before it opens in order to make the most out of your trip otherwise you may find yourself waiting in a fairly long line. The BBQ cooking plate is cleaned by staff. There is a wide selection of other foods aside from the BBQ such as chicken wings , noodles , rice , pork , sushi , dumplings and a little salad bar.
Whilst I was quite surprised and amazed with the concept of self-serve K-BBQ and the stringent rules such as extra charges on food waste age and extra time there, it is better value for money to come here if you are sharing a BBQ feast with friends and are splitting the costs. However with that being said, that really depends on your appetite and personal preferences. I had little portions of each dish I wanted including the BBQ meat and that all amounted to £33 which is the cost of an adult meal.
They had a lot of what you would expect from a Korean restaurant, they did lack in a few bits such as the pickled radish.
Besides this, the quality of meat was exceptional and marinated well and on a general note, food was fresh and tasted lovely. Staff were very attentive.
If I were to come here again, I would definitely come here with friends.
Great value for London. It was only £93 for 3 people including a service charge. There are so many sides including miso soup with fresh tofu! I especially liked the octopus and cheese corn and my friend liked the marinated beef. Well worth the money.
Really good concept, the raw food is nicely seasoned but additional seasoning like garlic, chilli oil, salt & pepper etc is provided for things like the squid or prawns. Be sure not to turn the temperature up too high at 1st to allow time for things like the steak and pork belly to cook through.
The atmosphere was nice, a little intimate but busy. You can store your coat under your seat to refrain from it smelling smokey. The service was ok, I think considering its a buffet they just let you crack on but overall we had a good time and enjoyed the Korean flavours!
We came on a weekend, so the price was £33 pp. I mean the food tasted good, the side dishes were tasty, but £33 to cook your own meat? I don’t know. It’s part of the experience which makes its novel. But if I’m paying a hefty price I would expect a vast range of other food options i.e dessert.
The desert options were three flavours of ice cream: strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. And it tasted artificial. And though icE CrEaM isn’t the main attraction here, if the price is that steep, then a range of deserts and side dishes should be provided. Also you have to pay an additional price for lettuce? um … ye no
So it was fun, food was tasty. But for all the money they’re gathering, I would invest in a better selection of deserts and include lettuce in the price. Because really … lettuce is just lettuce. let’s be for real
I opted for the buffet at K-Town BBQ. The food was all very tasty, but sadly, not hot enough and I thought the price was rather expensive. I liked that the food was not greasy, and as mentioned, quite flavorful, but the fact that it wasn't hot was a real negative for me.
It’s a fun experience.
Would I go again? Probably not. But am I glad I went? Yes.
They have a selection of marinated meats for you to barbecue at your table and an array of cooked foods for you to have as starters and accompaniments.
The problem I found was the quality of the meats were not great. The steak chewy, the prawns small and not deveined. At £31pp you do expect a wider variety and at a better quality.
My 3rd times to go K town, the food still good but the price is big rises in short. As I remember I came here around 1 year ago and the price was around 24 gbp but now is 33 gbp. I may not go again in short if the price keep going up in the future.
Quite an enjoyable experience, plenty of food options both cooked and to be cooked by you options. They don't accept bookings, which i think is silly as it would be nice to plan our day more efficiently. The smoke given off by the in table grills was sometimes overwhelming.
